I know that the Government produces statements it seems every time there's a storm. It might be helpful, given that we've endured another week of significant storms, if, perhaps on an annual basis, a statement regarding the storm impact and storm resilience…

Okay, thank you. Just some questions for the Deputy Minister as well, regarding fire and rescue services, and I guess this is a broader question about workplace cultures. The Deputy Minister made a very powerful statement recently in the Chamber about issues…

Thank you. What is your view—? I know it's already been touched on. What is your view as to whether there should be a strict definition of the age at which, or the class year at which, young people should participate in outdoor education?

Residential Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 5
Thanks, Chair. Residential outdoor education isn't actually defined on the face of the Bill. Do any of you think that this creates problems in terms of the potential for a lack of consistency across schools?

In terms of cost, Sam Rowlands told us that the cost of teacher cover specifically is included in the Bill's provisions. Does that alleviate some of the concerns that you have regarding costs? I know that NAHT has been particularly concerned about this.
